I just bought a Yamaha RX-V781. My new projector hasn't shown up yet, so I can't speak to it's 4k performance, but it works great with a decent set of speakers and a 1080p tv...
Which of the new 4K Recievers do you prefer?
I’m looking for a new receiver for my home theater system. I have been using a Denon 5803 for years and I think it has very good sound quality and power. But, its an older model that I use the 7.1 analog inputs.
Now that I have the new Oppo 205 I would like to take advantage of using HMDI connections along with the Atmos overhead channels.
I would like one with about 150 RMS / channel, dual subwoofer outputs and has at least front channel preamp outputs. Sound quality is important. Video quality is less important because I run the Oppo direct to my 85" UHD Samsung.
Price around $1500-$2500+
Appreciate any help.

If you are happy with your Dennon's sound you could consider using it as an amp only by feeding a pre-pro analog outs to it and using "source direct" to bypas all the processing, which would be done in the pre-pro. It's a bit less elegant than pairing a power amp, but is better on budget. In that scenario you might consider The Emotiva XMC-1. I haven't used it but it's loaded (Dirac, Atmos, etc.) and upgradeable. I've found Emotiva to be very reasonably priced and great quality. I have an XPA-5 power amp and outdoor speakers and both have been excellent. Their service was great too when I accidently left a speaker out in freezing weather they replaced it at no cost, despite it being my own fault! https://emotiva.com/products/pres-and-pros/xmc-1-0 |
Similar setup with the Marantz Pre-Pros would work. I have the AV7005 which has been great. The new AV7703 looks pretty fantastic. They aren't upgradeable like Emotiva and are very large, but I love my AV7005 and would probably get either the Emotiva or this one if I were in the market now http://us.marantz.com/us/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=AVSeparates&SubCatId=&Prod... |
